| This morning was our day to visit Stanley Village, a 40 minute bus ride out of Hong Kong. Wouldn't you know it was raining, looking out the bus window is the view we see. But with our adventures spirits, we hoped the sun would eventually come out. |
 |
| By the time we got there, it was still raining a little, but we had our umbrella's. Rita's wasn't covering her shoulders, so the first thing they did was buy Rita a new one, see the difference in the two pictures. This is the little village of Stanley. It once was a quiet fishing village, but this seaside town became popular for it's markets and beaches. It is geared to tourists. Use to tourist they speak better English and stock many souvenirs and Chinese gifts. |
 |
| It's markets are fairly small spreading along just two streets covered well keeping both rain and sun at bay. |
 |
| Rita and I had fun going through all the stores looking for bargains and gifts to bring home. I found some beautiful lace handkerchief's and a table top runner. I loved the red lanterns decorating the stores. Derek sorta wandered through, I'm not sure if he bought any thing. |
 |
| Here is the cove and a beach, with hotels above. It's a beautiful area, if you wanted to have a weekend here, or honeymoon. |
 |
| More of the other part of town above, below I loved this wall that had the saying about Stanley Village. |
 |
| On the way back to Hong Kong our bus was coming back and we came up on this accident. Our bus driver got out to go over and see what he could do. He called the police and they were there in minutes. Before we could leave the traffic backed up a mile away coming up the hill, we had no traffic going down. |
